WAX-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 15, 1907.

Application filed August 8, 1906- Serial-1N0. 329,746}

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MOLLIE E. Innrrnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lelce Charles, in the parish of Oelcnsieu, State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wax-Holders;

end I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apper-' tnins to mnlce and use the same.

This invention relates to ironing wax holders, and has for its object to provide a simple device of this character, of such construction that it may be refilled with wax when desired, and in which the cloth which retains the wa-x within the holder, may be removed for cleaning or replacement.

A fiuther object of theinvention is to provide a means for holding the cloth in place, of such construction that i it will stretch the cloth tightly over the wax to produce which comprise the wax-holder embodied in my invention. Each of the above mentioned members is elliptical in form, and the outermost member 5 is closed at one end, as at 8 and provided with a handle 9, by means of which thev holder may be manipulated. A cloth 10 is stretched over the innermost member 7, and is held in place by the intermediate member 6, which fits snugly over the member 7 and is telescopically received in the member 5.

In practice the member 7 is completely filled with wax after the cloth l0 and the member 6 have been engaged thereupon, and the member 6 is then placed in the member 5, the holder then being ready for use.

From the above, it will be seen that the holder may be readily refilled, and, furthermore, that the cloth 10 may at any time be replaced by a. new one or removed for cleaning.

What is claimed, is- A wox holder of the type set forth comprising a hollow retaining member spanned at its upper end by an imperferate web of material, :1 handle secured thereto, two open ended members, one of which is telescopically received within the other and held byirlctlon and a; sheet of for rzuninous material having its edges clamped between said open ended members and spunnlngihe lower ends thereof,

the outermost of said open ended members being telescoped into said first named member and Irictlonally held therein.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
